Please reduce the load time of the Logos desktop app for PC. Its boot time currently exceeds the combined startup duration of Visual Studio and Adobe Photoshop.
What sort of startup time are you seeing?
21 seconds
@Graham Criddle
Logos PC: After a reboot, the first launch, 21 seconds. Subsequent launches, 5 seconds.
Logos Web: Open Microsoft Edge and load Logos Web bible, 5 seconds.
Visual Studio 2026: Open VS and load a project, 7 seconds
Adobe Photoshop 2026: Open PS and load an image, 8 seconds
Intel Core i7-1355U, 32GB RAM, 1GB SSD, Windows 11 25H2
@Graham Criddle just wondering, how long does Logos take to load the first time after a reboot on your computer?
Hi @HeIsWithUs
just wondering, how long does Logos take to load the first time after a reboot on your computer?
I've just checked this and, according to the Logos log, it took 17.5 seconds
2025-11-08 20:24:22.2795 INFO 2 StartupUtility | Finished startup at 17.47s.
Looking at the log activity, there are some things that take a significant part of those 17.5 seconds, such as:
2025-11-08 20:24:14.1994 INFO 13 SyncManager
Starting sync manager thread.
2025-11-08 20:24:14.2003 INFO 13 StartupUtility
(1891ms) Startup step: StartPostSetFactoryServicesWork
2025-11-08 20:24:14.2013 INFO 33 SyncManager
Sync manager thread started.
But most of it is because Logos is starting a lot of processes, connecting to databases, etc.
For me, this amount of startup time does not cause any problems - it is rare I reboot my computer or restart Logos apart from for testing purposes - but I understand for others this may be a problem.
Microsoft Word opens in 1 second.
Sure - but is doing a lot less in the background.
Microsoft Windows 11 from off to login in 20 seconds.
You need to compare to a comparable program in terms of functionality and to acknowledge the degree of control the user has over load time in Logos, For example, in Logos what is the difference in load time if you open to a blank page vs. loading to a complex layout with several complex filters defined against the entire Bible? I agree that it would be nice to have Logos load faster but there are outstanding bugs, incomplete features, and additional features I would give higher priority to.

Hi! My husband will be starting as a first year seminary student at Concordia in St. Louis MO. I have been thinking about getting him a tablet to take to class and more on the go purposes vs his laptop. From what I’m reading is that logos can be a very powerful tool for students and pastors. I heard that he can get most of…
Would it be possible to make the line spacing go up to 3?
I've been playing with (and using) the AI TTS voices and features of apps such as Speechify, Peech, Natural Reader, etc. These high-quality, natural human-sounding, non-robotic voices have made my reading (listening) so much more productive. Some of the features (such as tracking-highlight during read-aloud, option to skip…
Please add the notes tool function to Bible Study Builder instead of just the blank block. This way we have more notes taking options, and the note being anchored to verse. This tool is allready available in other resources so it should not be difficult to add the function to the Bible Study Builder.
Can you please provide reading plan(s) for the Tora portions which are read every Sabbat? With the Haftarah and readings from the NT. I am trying to make one, but it is almost impossible. And I have tried a lot as you can see in my other post. I am sadly suprised that this ancient global tradition has no prominent place in…
